This week has been a bit disappointing for us. Kyle will
not be receiving chemo today. Everyday is so crucial because the main
reason we are down here is for treatment. Kyle's whole body is out of
hack and beyond sensitive from being blasted by aggressive chemo for
months on end back home. He is only getting about 20% from the total
amount of chemo he was getting. Just this small amount brings his vitals
down an extreme amount.
The Doctors here are going to try and give him more stimulates
this weekend for both the red and white blood counts and check again on
Monday. They are thinking that he will need another transfusion soon.
I'm not sure if this means they will push his scans out another
week.
We are learning about alternative pain management while we
are here using RS Oil, Castor Oil Packs, DSMO, Coffee Enemas and a long acting
pain pill that is not a narcotic.
Kyle is
still taking oxycontin from the states to keep things under control.
He is still in a good amount of pain, but is trying to take as
little narcotics as possible.
